disappearing act.=)

i know i've disappeared for quite a while. haven't been updating ever since i came back from the oslo cruise. i'd wanted to update in chronological order, but i haven't gotten down to writing about the oslo cruise, so well, i'm kinda stuck.

in any case, i went to oslo, and then to amsterdam and brussels in the following week, skipping 3 lessons. amsterdam and brussels was fun. very different experience, both good and bad. was pretty traumatised in brussels cos of the MANY weird people hanging around on the streets, but generally the chocolate paradise didn't disappoint. amsterdam was good too, stayed in the red light district, witnessed many window girls, aka prostitutes, standing just behind a trnsparent door with beds in the room trying to solicit customers. these are definitely things you won't see in clean and green singapore.

anyway, it's nearing the end of our holidays, and i do feel quite sad about it. like soon, we'll be back in s'pore mugging. end of our touring, end of our thinking-what-to-eat days. 6 weeks just ZOOOMED past. feels like ytd when i waved goodbye to my family, and now, i'm going home in 1+ more week. i'm not even prepared for my exam. =(

it's becoming quite fun thinking about what to cook for my meals. all the small little things here that excite me, like receiving fb msges, emails from my friends back at home. even wishing someone happy birthday, or sending postcards back to my friends in s'pore becomes such an exciting thing to do.

and now, as i try to pack my stuff back into my luggage, i feel quite she bu de, 7 weeks of holidays just like that. yes i've spent hell lot of money, but i really think it's an experience of a lifetime. with my family's financial situation, there's no way we can come here without the 'studying' intention.

ah well. anyway, i got slightly frustrated cos the internet connection at cbs was down for about 30 hours before this. i couldn't even go online, and that's my only source of entertainment. thank goodness it's up now, if not i'd really go crazy.

I MUST START STUDYING! my paper's on monday, and i have another 10-page report to write. good luck to me!

and we're still going for day trips on friday and saturday. that leaves only sunday to mug. WONDERFUL.

(i really dunno why you seem to not be acknowledging this friendship of yours. yes we haven't exactly been talking for a while, but is there a need to talk to all MY friends but yet totally ignoring me? thanks ah, you made me even more disillusioned now. you totally screwed up my life do you know that?)
